Introduction
Clavfine Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Clavfine Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Clavfine Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clavfine Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clavfine Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clavfine Dry Syrup?
Clavfine Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Clavfine Dry Syrup, tell your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking. It is also essential to consult your child's healthcare professional before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavfine Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a negative reaction in children after vaccination. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid getting vaccinated until they are fully recovered from the underlying illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavfine Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Long-term therapy may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's well-being.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavfine Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than the recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavfine Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is completed, even if your child feels better. Symptoms may improve before complete bacterial elimination, so continue the prescribed dosage.
Can Clavfine Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavfine Dry Syrup can lead to diarrhea due to its effects on beneficial bacteria in the gut. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, seek medical advice from a healthcare professional before giving any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. It is crucial to avoid prescribing antibiotics for viral infections unless recommended by a doctor due to the potential for adverse effects.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge does not always indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change from clear to yellow or green as it progresses. Symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea), or liver damage (signs of weakness, paleness, vomiting). These rare but serious side effects warrant prompt medical attention.
